东南亚的农业并非一帆风顺。绿色革命带来的生产力增长已经放缓，甚至出现了倒退，环境问题以及水资源和土地的短缺也很明显。与此同时，不断变化的世界市场正在改变各国农业经济的动态。但从农民自己的角度来看，他们每一季的经济生存都处于危险之中。巴厘岛在某些方面是该地区其他农业区的典型，但由于其独特的以旅游业为主导的经济和文化环境，它也是一个特例。在这种环境下，农民被双重边缘化。与此同时，该岛为优质有机农产品提供了独特的市场机会。本文考察了这些机会被利用的方式，并描述了它们不同程度的成功。它特别关注一个项目，该项目通过转向有机生产成功地降低了生产成本，但在销售其产品方面却不太成功。最后，它认为需要对整个水稻生产/销售复杂的情况进行综合研究，特别是从农民的自下而上的观点出发。
All is not well with agriculture in Southeast Asia. The productivity gains of the Green Revolution have slowed and even reversed and environmental problems and shortages of water and land are evident. At the same time changing world markets are shifting the dynamics of national agricultural economies. But from the point of view of farmers themselves, it is their season-to-season economic survival that is at stake. Bali is in some ways typical of other agricultural areas in the region, but it is also a special case because of its distinctive economic and cultural environment dominated by tourism. In this environment, farmers are doubly marginalized. At the same time the island offers them unique market opportunities for premium and organic produce. This article examines the ways in which these opportunities have been approached and describes their varying degrees of success. It focuses especially on one project that has been successful in reducing production costs by conversion to organic production, but less so in marketing its produce. It argues finally for the need for integrated studies of the entire rice production/marketing complex, especially from the bottom-up point of view of farmers.
